Heading to Lauderdale for lunch with a friend and then down to Miami for the weekend.
The beauty of having a V bottom is that I can still run in the ocean even if it's at a slower clip than I'd like.

If I didn't have a holiday dinner party back in DC on Friday, lunch Friday would be on me. :(

Holiday dinners are so over-rated Brian....

Have you been in Florida since Key West ??

All this boating talk has me ready to get out in the Gulf Friday and Saturday, I'm flying back to St. Louis tomorrow morning for 48 hours for some business I've got to take care of and a quick visit to see the grandkids, sucks to have to get shoes and long pants out for two days, then back to the sunshine state for some warm weather boating.

Forecast is looking great again, better get that Skater fixed BAM.

We have kept our boat at Grove Harbor Marina in Coconut Grove. Great place, awesome staff, indoor and outdoor rack storage. From our place in South beach it is only a 10 minute drive.
